Dark Souls III Modder Fills Entire World With Crabs

For years hardcore Souls bros have been faced with a problem. How do you make Dark Souls even more difficult, unsettling and frightening than normal? Some have resorted to ‘one bro’ runs, playing through the games in their pants, others to killing all the bosses as fast as humanly possible. But for one YouTuber, the answer was much simpler. Just add crabs. Lots of crabs.

Limit Breakers specialises in testing the boundaries of the Dark Souls games by fiddling around with its insides and creating character builds that no reasonable human being would ever consider, vomiting up horrors like the ‘Dark Hand’ and the most grossly incandescent build imaginable, all accompanied by a disturbing robot voice.

Not content with making ridiculous manthings, he has now replaced all the textures in Dark Souls III with pictures of crabs. It is terrifying.

But crabs will never be enough for some people. Limit Breakers went on to implement a raft of texture ideas from his viewers. He has since replaced all the game’s textures with other images, including Shrek, the face of Nicolas Cage, and the word “poise”.

The games’ creator Hidetaka Miyazaki has said he wishes to return to the series before he retires. But now we all know that would be fruitless. This terror can no longer be surpassed.

Miyazaki said in interview they have one new IP in production and two games from their older series (not Souls).
Could be Bloodborne 2, new King’s Field and/or Armored Core.
I hope they will show us something this year.

Modders… I don’t get modders… You have the power to create and walk worlds of smoke and half-truths, intangible. Worlds of torment and of unnamable beauty. Opaline towers as small moons. Glaciers that ripple with insensate lust… Yet you use all your power to create a world with nothing but… this. Not even going to install this one, I’d be tired of it quickly.

Wasn’t Avuncular Platitude deprecated and replaced with Purple Bloviator? That was the mod that replaced all the guards with giant, flatulent thesauruses that flapped around and lectured you on how your use of free time wasn’t up to their expectations.

Couldn’t resist, despite the fact that this mod uses the wrong type of crustacean. That silly “shrimpverse”/”world with nothing but shrimp” running gag was the first thing that popped into my head when i read the article.

And that separates him from who, exactly? Most people on the internet can be accused of not having a life and I bet a lot people are terribly bored. The question is what you do with that. Clearly, not having a life and/or terrible boredom is a great creative force, it just makes for odd results sometimes.

Huh! Even after finishing that game, there are still features in it that I’ve never even heard of. This in particular seems like a really cool idea, after reading up on it, and they seem to be exceedingly rare.
